A wideband phase detector SiGe HBT MMIC for multi-gigabit synchronous receivers

This paper reports a phase detector MMIC operating in the frequency range of DC to 40 GHz, with an average power conversion gain of 11 dB with wideband input matching. The MMIC is realized in 0.25 μm SiGe HBT technology. The phase detector is dedicated to form a Costas loop for broadband binary phase shift keyed signals.
